Install Windows Vista / Windows 7 from USB pen drive

How to create a bootable USB pen drive with Windows VISTA / Windows 7 / Windows Server 2008 installation.
Requirement :
1. Windows Vista / Windows 7 / Server 2008 installation disk / ISOs
2. Pen drive with more than 3 GB space
On my C2D 1.86GHz, 1GB DDR2 RAM , Intel 946GZIS, 500GB 7200rpm SATA computer, i tested it and found that installation is around 4 Minutes faster when using Pen drive for installation.
It can be done in two ways -
Method one:
If UBCD4Win is already installed on your pen drive. Your pen drive is made bootable already.
Simply copy all files and folders from DVD / ISOs of VISTA orWindows 7 or Windows Server 2008 to your pen drive.
Open your menu.lst file with notepad.
add these few lines in the menu.lst file

title Launch "Windows Vista Installation from USB stick"
fallback 1
find --set-root /bootmgr
chainloader /bootmgr
savedefault --wait=2
Save your menu.lst file.
Thats all, boot from pen drive and you will see extra title with name "Windows Vista Installation from USB stick"
Till now we have added in one single USB Pen drive
1. UBCD4Win 2. Hiren's DOS boot CD v 9.8 / 9.9 3. HBCD's Windows XP live 4. Windows Vista / Windows 7 / Windows Server 2008 Installation disk.
You may download my edited menu.lst file for all these 4 additions from here:

Adding Hiren's DOS Bootable CD v 9.8 / 9.7 in UBCD4Win pendrive.

A. If you have burnt iso image of Hiren's Dos bootable CD to any cd or DVd, just copy "HBCD" folder to your pen drive (pen drive which is already made bootable with UBCD4WIN)

otherwise open iso image with the help of any iso tool like ultraiso / winiso / isobuster / winimage or even winrar will do the job.

For ultraiso,

1. click on file and then click open,

2. select iso image of hiren dos boot cd v 9.8 / 9.7 and click open.:




3. Right click on HBCD folder and click Extract To.. :


4. On "Browse folder" Select UBCD4Win formated pen drive and click OK. :


In HBCD folder, copied in pen drive if you open, you can see a file boot.gz, it  is  compressed floopy image of HBCD dos menu, which we see when we boot from HBCD,:


On pen drive, there is a menu.lst file  (lst extn will be seen if you have made settings  in explorer's properties.)

5. Open this menu file with notepad or wordpad: 


6. Browse this paragraph, copy and past just below it. thus we have two entries of this boot menu.
title Launch "The Ultimate Boot CD for Windows"
fallback 1
find --set-root /minint/setupldr.bin
chainloader /minint/setupldr.bin
savedefault --wait=2



now edit pasted menu to like this:

title Launch "Mini XP From HBCD 9.8"
fallback 1
find --set-root /HBCD/XPLOADER.BIN
chainloader /HBCD/XPLOADER.BIN
savedefault --wait=2

as seen here:

now browse this menu para select and copy and paste just below it:

title Darik's Boot and Nuke v.1.0.6
map --mem (hd0,0)//Images/dban.ima (fd0)
map --hook
chainloader (fd0)+1

now edit pasted para in this mannar:

title Hiren's Dos Boot CD v 9.8
map --mem (hd0,0)//HBCD/boot.gz (fd0)
